10.2.101 General test conditions
Each test is made on one new sample of slotted trunking length having a length of
(250 ± 5) mm.
Before the test non-metallic and composite slotted trunking lengths are aged at the
temperature declared according to Table 3 of Part 1 with a tolerance of ± 2°C for (168 ± 4) h
continuously.
The sample is securely fixed, using 10 mm external diameter flat metallic washers and
appropriate metallic screws to a rigid smooth support such as a plywood board 16 mm thick.
When 10 mm external diameter is too large, suitable smaller washer and appropriate screw
are used. Fixing(s) are positioned as shown in Figure 103 at (200 ± 5) mm centres along the
length of the sample.
Within the width of the sample:
– for trunking with a width less than 50 mm, one fixing is used as shown in Figure 103 a);
– for trunking with a width equal or greater than 50 mm, two fixings are used as shown in
Figure 103 b).
If the manufacturer's instructions require the use of cable retainers or dividers, these are fitted
according to the manufacturer's instructions. Cable retainers, if any, are symmetrically fixed
along the length.
The sample is subjected to an evenly distributed load of 0,8 g/mm of the declared usable
area for cables, per metre length. The load is distributed between the compartments
proportionally to the declared usable area. The load consists of copper insulated conductors
or cables complying with class 5, Table 3 of IEC 60228:2004, or flexible insulated conductors
or cables of similar mass per meter.
To allow for settlement of the sample, a pre-load of 10 % of the load is applied and removed
after (300 ± 30) s. The measurement apparatus is then calibrated to zero.
Insulated conductors or cables of 25 mm nominal cross section are placed in the sample so
that approximately 50 % of the load is achieved. Insulated conductors or cables of 2,5 mm
nominal cross section are placed on top of the larger cables to achieve the total load within a
tolerance of ± 5 g. If the dimensions of the compartment do not permit the accommodation of
2 2
25 mm insulated conductor or cable, 2,5 mm nominal cross section insulated conductors or
cables are used.
Non-metallic and composite slotted trunking lengths are tested at the maximum application
temperature declared by the manufacturer according to Table 3 of Part 1 with a tolerance of
± 2 °C.
10.2.102 Mounting arrangements for slotted trunking lengths
Slotted trunking lengths are mounted according to Figure 104 a).
+ 5/0) min with the load still applied the vertical deflection F is measured at
After (120
approximately the middle of the length.
F shall not exceed 10 % of the height H with a maximum of 10 mm (see Figure 104 a)).
10.2.103 Mounting arrangements for slotted trunking lengths classified according to
6.101.1
Slotted trunking lengths classified according to 6.101.1 are mounted according to
Figure 104 b).
After (120 + 5/0) min with the load still applied the vertical deflection F is measured at
approximately the middle of the length.
F shall not exceed 10 % of the width W with a maximum of 10 mm (see Figure 104 b)).

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

10.2.101 General test conditions
Each test is made on one new sample of slotted trunking length having a length of
(250 ± 5) mm.
Before the test non-metallic and composite slotted trunking lengths are aged at the
temperature declared according to Table 3 of Part 1 with a tolerance of ± 2°C for (168 ± 4) h
continuously.
 IEC 2024
The sample is securely fixed, using 10 mm external diameter flat metallic washers and
appropriate metallic screws to a rigid smooth support such as a plywood board 16 mm thick.
When 10 mm external diameter is too large, suitable smaller washer and appropriate screw
are used. Fixing(s) are positioned as shown in Figure 103 at (200 ± 5) mm centres along the
length of the sample.
Within the width of the sample:
– for trunking with a width less than 50 62,5 mm, one fixing is used as shown in
Figure 103 a);
– for trunking with a width equal or greater than 50 62,5 mm, two fixings are used as shown
in Figure 103 b).
If the manufacturer's instructions require the use of cable retainers or dividers, these are fitted
according to the manufacturer's instructions. Cable retainers, if any, are symmetrically fixed
along the length.
The sample is subjected to an evenly distributed load of 0,8 g/mm of the declared usable
area for cables, per metre length. The load is distributed between the compartments
proportionally to the declared usable area. The load consists of copper insulated conductors
or cables complying with class 5, Table 3 – class 5 of IEC 60228:2004, or flexible insulated
conductors or cables of similar mass per meter.
To allow for settlement of the sample, a pre-load of 10 % of the load is applied and removed
after (300 ± 30) s. The measurement apparatus is then calibrated to zero.
Insulated conductors or cables of 25 mm nominal cross section are placed in the sample so
that approximately 50 % of the load is achieved. Insulated conductors or cables of 2,5 mm
nominal cross section are placed on top of the larger cables to achieve the total load within a
tolerance of ± 5 g. If the dimensions of the compartment do not permit the accommodation of
2 2
25 mm insulated conductor or cable, 2,5 mm nominal cross section insulated conductors or
cables are used.
Non-metallic and composite slotted trunking lengths are tested at the maximum application
temperature declared by the manufacturer according to Table 3 of Part 1 with a tolerance of
± 2 °C.
10.2.102 Mounting arrangements for slotted trunking lengths
Slotted trunking lengths are mounted according to Figure 104 a).
After (120 + 5/0) min with the load still applied the vertical deflection F is measured at
approximately the middle of the length.
F shall not exceed 10 % of the height H with a maximum of 10 mm (see Figure 104 a)).
10.2.103 Mounting arrangements for slotted trunking lengths classified according to
6.101.1
Slotted trunking lengths classified according to 6.101.1 are mounted according to
Figure 104 b).
After (120 + 5/0) min with the load still applied the vertical deflection F is measured at
approximately the middle of the length.
F shall not exceed 10 % of the width W with a maximum of 10 mm (see Figure 104 b)).

Replacement:
Slotted cable trunking systems shall either not ignite or if ignited, shall not continue to burn
when the source of ignition is removed.
Non-metallic system component or metallic system component coated in paint or any other
substance which is likely to affect its resistance to flame propagation is to be considered as a
composite system component and tested accordingly.
Compliance is checked as follows:
– for slotted trunking lengths of non-metallic or composite material by the following flame
test;
 IEC 2024
– for other system components of non-metallic or composite material by the test of 13.1.1 of
Part 1 at the temperature of 650 °C.
System components, which have already been tested at 650 °C or 850 °C according to 13.1.1
of Part 1, are not tested again at this temperature.
The test shall be performed according to Clauses 1 to 5, 8, 10, 11 and 13 of IEC 60695-11-
5:20042016 and the following conditions:
– the test is carried out on two sets of samples (675 ± 10) mm long. If partitions are not
integral with the sample, a partition shall be mounted on the slotted trunking length. Other
parts may be added to the sample at the request of the manufacturer;
– the slotted trunking length is placed vertically with its lower extremity (100 ± 5) mm above
the tissue covered wooden board as shown in Figure 105 in a rectangular metal enclosure
with an open face as shown in Figure 4 of Part 1. It is securely fixed to a rigid support
through the fixing holes, if any, in the base of the slotted trunking length, according to the
manufacturer’s instructions;
– the burner is positioned on the samples of the first set in such a way that the axis forms an
angle of 45° ± 2° with the horizontal one and the flame is applied centrally to the boundary
of an opening of the wall approximately 200 mm above the wrapping tissue covered
wooden board, the end of the burner tube being distanced (5 ± 1) mm from the sample;
– the test is repeated on the samples of the second set but with the burner applied to one
extremity of the cover preferably on the edge with the thinnest wall thickness or to the
boundary of a slot, if there is any;
– a severity of 60 s is used.

AVANT-PROPOS
1) La Commission Electrotechnique Internationale (IEC) est une organisation mondiale de normalisation
composée de l'ensemble des comités électrotechniques nationaux (Comités nationaux de l’IEC). L’IEC a pour
objet de favoriser la coopération internationale pour toutes les questions de normalisation dans les domaines
de l'électricité et de l'électronique. A cet effet, l’IEC – entre autres activités – publie des Normes
internationales, des Spécifications techniques, des Rapports techniques, des Spécifications accessibles au
public (PAS) et des Guides (ci-après dénommés "Publication(s) de l’IEC"). Leur élaboration est confiée à des
comités d'études, aux travaux desquels tout Comité national intéressé par le sujet traité peut participer. Les
organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non gouvernementales, en liaison avec l’IEC, participent
également aux travaux. L’IEC collabore étroitement avec l'Organisation Internationale de Normalisation (ISO),
selon des conditions fixées par accord entre les deux organisations.
2) Les décisions ou accords officiels de l’IEC concernant les questions techniques représentent, dans la mesure
du possible, un accord international sur les sujets étudiés, étant donné que les Comités nationaux de l’IEC
intéressés sont représentés dans chaque comité d’études.
3) Les Publications de l’IEC se présentent sous la forme de recommandations internationales et sont agréées
comme telles par les Comités nationaux de l’IEC. Tous les efforts raisonnables sont entrepris afin que l’IEC
s'assure de l'exactitude du contenu technique de ses publications; l’IEC ne peut pas être tenue responsable de
l'éventuelle mauvaise utilisation ou interprétation qui en est faite par un quelconque utilisateur final.
4) Dans le but d'encourager l'uniformité internationale, les Comités nationaux de l’IEC s'engagent, dans toute la
mesure possible, à appliquer de façon transparente les Publications de l’IEC dans leurs publications nationales
et régionales. Toutes divergences entre toutes Publications de l’IEC et toutes publications nationales ou
régionales correspondantes doivent être indiquées en termes clairs dans ces dernières.
5) L’IEC elle-même ne fournit aucune attestation de conformité. Des organismes de certification indépendants
fournissent des services d'évaluation de conformité et, dans certains secteurs, accèdent aux marques de
conformité de l’IEC. L’IEC n'est responsable d'aucun des services effectués par les organismes de certification
indépendants.
6) Tous les utilisateurs doivent s'assurer qu'ils sont en possession de la dernière édition de cette publication.
7) Aucune responsabilité ne doit être imputée à l’IEC, à ses administrateurs, employés, auxiliaires ou
mandataires, y compris ses experts particuliers et les membres de ses comités d'études et des Comités
nationaux de l’IEC, pour tout préjudice causé en cas de dommages corporels et matériels, ou de tout autre
dommage de quelque nature que ce soit, directe ou indirecte, ou pour supporter les coûts (y compris les frais
de justice) et les dépenses découlant de la publication ou de l'utilisation de cette Publication de l’IEC ou de
toute autre Publication de l’IEC, ou au crédit qui lui est accordé.
8) L'attention est attirée sur les références normatives citées dans cette publication. L'utilisation de publications
référencées est obligatoire pour une application correcte de la présente publication.
9) L’attention est attirée sur le fait que certains des éléments de la présente Publication de l’IEC peuvent faire
l’objet de droits de brevet. L’IEC ne saurait être tenue pour responsable de ne pas avoir identifié de tels droits
de brevets et de ne pas avoir signalé leur existence.
Cette version consolidée de la Norme IEC officielle et de son amendement a été
préparée pour la commodité de l'utilisateur.
